@Navy-Chief is there a peptide for this

[hunt_ak]

@Stevepep BPF-247

Buying Printer Filament - 24hrs/Day, 7days/wk

Microdosing recommended but it seems most don't follow this standard protocol for BPF-247

@ResearchCat Thats the one but buy direct from bambulab.

If you can spend a bit more and get a bigger print volume (and have the room) https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1?from=navigation

and if you just wanna blow some money anything in the H series is great.

I love my Bambu A1 mini and have been wearing it out. lol I know at some point in the future, I will get a bigger printer.

[Stevepep]

@afkar7 mine arrives today

Cool. I got the combo because I wanted multiple spool holders for multiple print projects and not have to worry about changing the color during printing. I also have so much more to learn with 3-D printing and creating my own work.

[Stevepep]

@afkar7 I may have to add that, or who knows, buy the X series or something bigger in the future. I have enough saved for a month of printing. LOL

[hunt_ak]

Gobs of matte SUNLU filament headed my way based off @krisacero recommendation. Printer and supplies will show up next week. Hoping the A1 comes with everything to get started.

[Stevepep]

@krisacero my first print this is amazing and perfect.

[WisGal64]

Are you all going to be selling your creations somewhere?

[Stevepep]

@WisGal64 Its so easy you can buy this printer for $200 it will pay for itself with a couple of 3d prints. Making a BAC case today so eveything in my house is going to get way more organized lol

[krisacero]

@WisGal64 Are you looking for something in particular? I'd be happy to make/model/print something and ship it to you if you'd like

[hunt_ak]

@krisacero for your black cases above, where are you sourcing your hinge pins...or are they clip in somehow? Wanting to make sure I'm ready for when my gear shows up.

[afkar7]

I made this one that has no hinges. Just put a lid on top.

Sorry about that. I should read these things better. lol

I’ve made some cases that do not need any screws and some that do. M3 x 30 mm seem to be the ones used the most.

Yes! I'm looking for inserts for my apache 1800 case. But I think I found some on amazon that may work.

Thank you for the offer

[krisacero]

@hunt_ak Yes, it calls officially for a m3x30 screw, however I use 3mmx30mm stainless pins like these:

One note, the parametric box design has a tight fit as it's accounting for the threads in a screw and I hadn't designed ones explicitly for screws. You can use either an 1/8" bit and get close and use a tiny dot of super glue on the edges,or if you happen to have a 3mm bit or a #31 bit to ream the holes on the box itself, otherwise if you hamfist it like me with a pair of channel-locks you'll crack the part

@afkar7 I had tried this one before I modeled the one I did since I store it in a medicine cabinet and reaching from the side was causing me to jostle other things on the shelf. It's a solid model though!

I like the one you did but it isn’t supported on the A-1 mini. Thanks for sharing the info on those 30mm pins. I might have to try them now.
